Best-Ever Greek Lemon Potatoes: The Secret to Crispy, Lemony Perfection

On the sidelines of the hockey rink or the basketball court, we talk food.  With our friends we chat recipes (like what the heck is everyone making for dinner??).   Greek Lemon Potatoes is one of those recipes that people are talking about, and we feel that ours is most definitely worth trying at home.

Greek lemon potatoes can become the star of the show:  Crisp edges, tender centers, and that unmistakable lemony, herby sauce that soaks right into every bite—this is the kind of recipe that makes people go back for seconds… and then ask how you made them (spoiler: there are two secrets: homemade chicken stock and LOTS of good olive oil!)

NOTE: Greek Olive oil is known as mild and very buttery.  So definitely source out a Greek Olive Oil if you can!  It makes a difference.

This is the type of recipe where you need to trust the process.   Like baking–you’re mixing a bunch of ingredients together in a bowl, throwing it in the oven and then hoping for the best–that’s how we first felt about these Greek Lemon Potatoes.   They just don’t look right at first, waaay too much liquid, but left alone with some trust about what’s about to happen, they turn out super flavourful and glorious.   All of the flavourful liquid is soaked into the potatoes as they roast!   That’s the magic behind THIS recipe of Greek Lemon Potatoes.

Let’s get into it, and read on below for recipe links to make an entire Greek Feast!
